Calling people out for sports

Personal, mostly funny, posts, with some good old Tumblr fandom posts, from way back when we were popular. But screaming to the void, mostly!

people who don't use or spend time on tumblr don't really understand how solid this place is for creatives and how we could be living in artist utopia if they fully undid the nsfw ban. the tag system? the dashboard? the silly anons who will send you the most insane sentences known to mankind? having your very old, shitty art make the rounds again because somebody finds value from it and wants to show their friends? no other place even comes close

My dream is for Hozier to do a cover of “Nobody” by the Crane Wives, and for the Crane Wives to do a cover of “Nobody” by Mitski, and for Mitski to do a cover of “Nobody” by Hozier. I’m calling it the Nobody Exchange and I think it could be huge.

My favorite part of youtube is the part of it that is middle-aged-to-old guys with zero production value who have made a simple, low-quality video on their phones about how to repair the exact fucking appliance that has been giving me grief so I can fix that fucker myself instead of spending hundreds of dollars to hire someone.

These men are all my honorary uncles and I love them.

What makes someone a badass?

The other day I closed the tab on yet another True Blood AU fic where Sookie trains in the fairy world and comes back ready to fight the forces of evil with fairy light and sharp-edged weapons, and she and Eric Northman have long stilted conversations about their feelings for each other but somehow never actually fuck. And I asked myself why people write so many of these stories, and why I dislike them so much.

I definitely ship Eric/Sookie. And solving problems with violence is very much an Eric Northman thing; he's actually good at it. But while Eric is a vampire with the heart of a warrior, Sookie is not a warrior. Sookie should not be a warrior. A Sookie Stackhouse who can fight her enemies with a sword is simply not Sookie Stackhouse.

I often hear Sookie described as weak or stupid, or see a fic that's tagged "Strong Sookie Stackhouse". I don't know how people can see the woman who dumped Talbot's remains down the garbage disposal, right in front of Russell Edgington, or stabbed her former lover in order to keep him from killing Eric, or went undercover in a werewolf bar to get valuable information, even, as weak. Or had a bitch-fight with Debbie Pelt, shot Debbie Pelt with a rifle, staked her first lover and gave him the true death... I could go on.

Sookie also shows compassion. She tries to help. She believes in people. She uses violence when she's forced to do so, but the final image of her in the show is not as a conqueror waving her sword above the masses of the slain, but as the hostess of a table where everyone is welcome. The show begins with the premise of vampires trying to live peaceably alongside humans and ends with a community of black and white, vamp and human and shapeshifter, everyone is welcome. That is basically the Eucharist.

Sookie Stackhouse is a badass peacemaker. She's a woman able to love three very different men. She's a sister who never gives up on her brother. Fifteen years later, Sookie is still the hero we need.

common myths about migraines (AKA if you get headaches regularly, please seek treatment for migraines)

"i don't have migraines because while i get them several times a week, it's only when i am hungry or dehydrated."

those are probably migraines. thirst, hunger, sleep disturbances, or any disruption to routine are common migraine triggers.

"my headaches are specifically barometric related, i get them when the weather/altitude changes."

those are probably migraines. barometric pressure is a common migraine trigger.

"i get headaches all the time but ibuprofen gets rid of them so they can't be migraines."

that's not true. ibuprofen works great at relieving migraine pain for many people.

"my consistent headaches are tension headaches. i feel them originate in my neck/shoulders."

those are probably migraines. muscle tension is a common migraine trigger.

if you are regularly getting headaches (once a week or more), you are likely getting migraines. in fact, a good rule of thumb if you're consistently getting headaches is to treat them as migraines until you can rule out migraines. that's how common "chronic headache = migraine" actually is.

migraines are a neurological disorder wherein pain is one symptom. pain is often the MAIN symptom, and the most noticeable symptom, which can make diagnosis tricky. other symptoms of migraine include:

fatigue

nausea/vomiting

digestive issues

visual disturbances (auras)

sensitivity to light and/or sound

mood changes

brain fog/cognitive changes

ringing in the ears

dizziness/vertigo

numbness/weakness on one side of the body

this list is NOT complete, but is a starting point. i really like the comparison to a hangover. if you generally feel hungover when you get a headache (without having consumed alcohol), that's a classic migraine presentation.

so many people suffer from migraine and don't even know it, so they aren't able to advocate for themselves to get treatment. there are great new migraine treatments on the market! if you're able, please seek treatment for your migraines. a better quality of life is possible.

[keplercryptids]

here's some more myths! brought to you by the most frequent comments i get on my migraine posts.

"but migraines are extremely painful/debilitating and i can push through my pain."

migraines certainly can be debilitatingly painful. the pain can also be mild/easily treatable. it depends on the person and it depends on the day. regardless, your ability to live with chronic pain does not mean your pain isn't a problem!

"my headaches always have a direct cause/trigger so they can't be treated/they're my fault."

wrong! migraine is a sensory disorder in many respects. most/all migraines are triggered by something. avoiding triggers is good but isn't the whole story, and migraines with triggers can be treated effectively!

"i feel pain in (x) area of my head so it's not a migraine."

migraines can hurt in a specific area of the head/one half of a person's head. but this is not universally true for every person. please forget every silly infographic you've ever seen about areas of the head equaling different kinds of headaches. that's just literally false.

It's my 15 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Y'know, to me "lost media" means "no known physical copies exist and it can't be pirated anywhere", not just "currently unavailable for streaming"

[tpwrtrmnky]

A file you can just find and download with minimal issue if you're computer literate isn't lost, actually. It's endangered, and it will be lost if nobody bothers to learn how to do this stuff, but it's not lost yet.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Like if you're grouping "there was only one copy of this episode of the beloved 60s tv show that aired before recording was possible, and they taped over it to save money while filming a commercial encouraging people to put ham in jello" with "the only known copies exist on several thousand hard drives seeding a torrent but like, I'm scared of using a VPN" that's your problem, please don't erode the meaning of this term.

stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.
